A/N: I was so going to post this on the weekend... but I'm too impatient. So.
Justin the constant reviewer- I was wondering when you'd review. Kept me waiting a while didn't you? JK, but I do look forward to your (and Sidney is the best's) reviews. Don't worry. This time, I'm going to try to update frequently, maybe even once a week(end). Emphasis on "try." You guys know how I am and how I intentionally go hiatus.
I try not to though, so here's Chapter 2
IMPORTANT: In the last chapter, I forgot to mention the kryptonite near Supey was blue. Throughout the comics, radio shows, television, and movies, different forms of Kryptonite have appeared- though mostly green. In Smallville, blue kryptonite brings a super powered Krypton to temporarily lose- or suppresses- their powers while close to the ore, though this is not the case with the comics. However this makes more sense than it being green Kryptonite, which harms super-powered Kryptons.
***Wally's POV***
I swallowed a response to Artemis when the Zeta tubes sounded. I wandered off into the kitchen, only to be drawn back when I heard Rob yell, "Are you going to let me down, now?"
I stuck my head into the training room. "Huh?" Superboy had managed to squirm a little further away from the Kryptonite, and Robin was once again holding himself up on the rope, watching me enter. I approached, and held up his utility belt. "Do you have a Swiss Army Knife on this thing?"
"That is the equivalent of a Swiss Army Knife, but in the form of a belt."
"So it has a knife."
"No."
"So it's not the equivalent of a Swiss Army Knife."
"Can you just cut me down already?"
"Sure thing, Rob." I smile. "But to do that, I would need a knife."
Rob sighed at me. "Just give me my gloves already." I hand him the black gloves, and I shove the right one onto his hand. Half a second later, the lock picking device is activated on the index finger and he starts to undo the lock on his shackles. After they fall off of his wrists, he reaches up and unties his feet, and falls to the ground with an "Oof!" making me snicker.
"You didn't think that one through, did you?"
"At least do think some things through. You, Kid Impulse, on the other hand…"
"Dude!"
"What? It's true."
"Where did you get the blue Kryptonite?" asked Robin, as they finally managed to untie Supey, then remove the Kryptonite (in case he got mad at Wally [and Artemis] for tying him up, they couldn't risk Superboy using his super strength and hurt their only speedster. So, they left the Kryptonite around until he was untied. Superboy had later stated he hated feeling "vulnerable").
"Swiped it from your room, of course." Wally said, handing Robin the piece, who rolled his eyes and placed the rock in one of us canisters of his utility belt and murmured something about lead*.
A somewhat clear imprint of a floating girl suddenly became more visible to Robin as he and Wally walked down the halls of Mount Justice, but Wally didn't notice it until Robin had haulted and he had run into the figure.
Wally lost his balance and fell backwards, while the figure- a now visible Megan- was in a heap on the floor.
The green girl jumped up when she realized it was Wally that she had run into, and started to run away, looking over her shoulder while she did it (no doubt watching to see if a certain archer would pop out from the shadows) until Robin called after her.
"They're not hunting you guys down anymore." Robin yelled as he helped Wally up, "After all, hide and seek is no longer fun when you can't find the last three kids."
"And no matter how long or loud you shout 'Olly olly oxen free,' they don't come running." finished Wally.
M'gann wearily looked them over and floated over in their direction. "You're not chasing us anymore? You won't tie us up?"
Wally laughed. "Nah, after we caught Rob and Superboy, we kinda gave up when you and Aqualad took the bioship and high tailed it out of here and Bluejay disappeared. I don't even know if she left the Cave."
"I didn't." The girl said, and the three looked up above them at the lighting fixtures, where sat a Bluejay, wearing all gray, grey~, and black camouflage clothing and her hair was now black and short which, brought a new meaning to the word ninja, at least for Wally. She hopped down from the lights and her clothing melted back to its jeans and T-shirt (now four beetles crossing a road in what was a Beatles- Abbey Road refrence).
Aqualad and Superboy joined the group. They all looked at each other, than were about to separate when the computer announced a visitor. "Recognized: Black Canary. 15.**" Instantly, Megan squealed and flew off in the direction of the Zeta tubes, and Wally raced after her. Robin walked with Superboy, but Bluejay pulled Kaldur aside.
"We may have a problem."
A/N:
*Lead protects Kryptons from the effects of Kryptonite. Coincidently, it is the only metal they cannot see through.
~ To me, gray is a light gray/grey (Both spellings are correct, though one is more preferred in the US, and one is more preferred in the UK and Australia. I can never remember which is which) and grey is a dark gray/grey. However, this is not technically correct; it's just a personal connotation.
** I went to the effort of digging through my computer files to find the chapter I wrote a designation for Black Canary, just so it would be the same one. So don't contradict me and say 'That's not the right one!' She doesn't have an official designation yet on the show, and I don't read the comics (but what's going on there? I heard GA told Artemis she was under arrest in the last issue. What is that about?)
